Advances in Parenteral Drug Delivery and Parenteral Formulations

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to present this Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Parenteral Drug Delivery and Parenteral Formulations,” which focuses on the latest innovations in parenteral drug delivery systems. This Special Issue brings together cutting-edge research that explores various advancements in injectable formulations, including long-acting injectables, implants, and nanoscale drug carriers. Parenteral drug delivery has become increasingly important for improving bioavailability and minimizing adverse effects, offering promising solutions for intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous routes of administration.

The Special Issue also emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of this field, with contributions from biology, chemistry, and engineering, addressing contemporary challenges in parenteral nutrition, formulation design, and delivery technologies. The selected publications demonstrate how these novel approaches can contribute to more precise, safe, and efficient drug delivery, thereby raising the standards of patient treatment worldwide. As the Guest Editor, I am confident that the content here will inspire both researchers and medical practitioners to implement new ideas into their daily work.

We hope this collection will inspire researchers and medical professionals to apply these innovative findings in clinical practice, advancing the field of parenteral drug delivery and contributing to safer, more effective therapeutic options worldwide. Our sincere thanks go to all the authors and reviewers who have contributed to this Special Issue.
